Kondo famously - some might say infamously - only keeps items that light a fire in her heart, while eliminating those that no longer ignite the spark. “When I went to college, I began tidying my friends’ homes as a hobby and when word spread, I had strangers approaching me saying they would pay me for my help.” Photography courtesy of KonMari Media, Inc. “This inspired me to start researching tidying seriously at the age of 15,” she told The Post. “It encourages tidying by category – not by location - beginning with clothes, then moving on to books, papers, komono and, finally, sentimental items.” When she was 5 years old, Kondo started reading her mother’s home and lifestyle magazines and tried doing household chores herself. “The KonMari Method is a method of tidying that uses a unique selection criterion - choosing what sparks joy,” recapped Kondo, who launched her consulting business when she was a 19-year-old university student in Tokyo, leading to her bestselling book, ‘ The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up,” in 2014.
How exactly does Kondo achieve this level of self-reflection? She said it all started with the self-founded system made internationally famous by her first Netflix series, 2019’s “Tidying Up.” So, let’s address the elephant in the room. “This critical step will help you understand what truly brings you joy.” “Be as detailed as possible on your morning routine, how you want to spend time relaxing at home or time with your loved ones,” she said. She recommends asking yourself three tough questions: Who are you, what do you want and how do you want to live? “To cultivate a joy-sparking relationship with yourself, you must first take the time and energy to really get to know yourself and imagine your ideal lifestyle.”
“True joy comes from within,” Kondo, 36, told The Post. The Japanese host of the aptly titled new series “ Sparking Joy,” premiering Tuesday on Netflix, has inspired millions around the globe to refocus their lives, starting with organizing their homes - but now she’s digging deeper.
